jay bee Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hey there, the other day I was getting quite a few mySQL errors, I'm assuming thats just a problem with IPB, and it seems like it's fixed now anyway, I couldn't actually post at the time due to the errors, but I just thought I'd report it just incase it sorted itself out and so the subject got left alone? cheers -Jay Quote Link to post Share on other sites

R22Master Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hiya. The IPB forum engine is actually a PHP software program, but it reads and stores data in a mySQL database on-line. The faults you have experienced are a result of failures in the mySQL database rather than the IPB system. Basically, the sheer popularity of this site at the moment is causing the server to just get overloaded at peak times. As the mySQL database is bearing the brunt of the activity, it is this part of the site that is slightly more prone to glitches and minor outages. The situation is known about and the owners and operators of the site are looking at various options to increase the capacity of the server to serve the community. After all, providing this site to more than 30,000 different people each and every day (another user logs in every 3 seconds) is a task that not every web server can handle Hopefully a planned future upgrade can increase the reliability of the server at peak times.
